Grayed Out Menu Options

You know I really don't mind menu options being grayed when you can't use them. But...

What I really hate is not knowing why!

Oh, it just pisses me off no end to discover some simple reason I can't use a particular tool, or other menu item...

after two hours of freakin pullin my hair out

trying to

do something I've only done about a hundred times!

All the amazing new features software can have days, would it take a genius to figure out how to include a little pop-up? So that when you tried to, say, transform an image, it would tell you "Sorry, that operation cannot be perform on a gray-scale image"... or whatever the case may be. Am I asking for too much? Perhaps the pop-up could link to the appropriate help page... eh, now I am REALLY asking for a lot, aren't I?
